Young guy, early 20s, comes up to my bar, with his cell phone and charger in hand.
YG: "Can I charge my phone?"
ME: "Sure. Would you like a food menu, or something to I drink?"
YG: "No."
ME: "Yeah. We only do that for customers."
YG: "Okay then. I'll have a raspberry juice."
ME: "Excuse me? A what?"
YG: "Raspberry juice? Do you have raspberry juice?"
ME: "....noooo....we have orange juice, cranberry juice--"
YG: "That's it. Cranberry juice." It should be noted he spoke perfect English, and was, I believe, American.
ME: "Okay. One cranberry juice." So I plugged in his phone and went off to the other end of the bar to pour his juice. I hate people like this, but technically, he was now a customer. Just as I finished pouring the juice...
YG: "Excuse me."
ME: "Huh?" I looked up to see that YG had come around to that end of the bar.
YG: "Can I just get a water instead?"
ME: (looking pointedly at the glass of cranberry juice) "I've already poured the juice."
YG: "Um....well how much is that gonna be....? I'd really just rather have water."
ME: "You DO realize that means you're not buying anything, right?"
YG: "...."
ME: "Forget it. Here's your water."
Asshole.
Anyone wanna guess how much he tipped for using our electricity and taking up space at the bar while only drinking tap water?
Hint: it squares nicely with the number of times Keira Knightley has blown me.
